Hi guys, im sorry if this has been asked before and if you think it is stupid thats fine, im am open to flaming if you feel it is necessary. Anyways, my question is, are all hubs compatible with xbox for system link use?
What I am trying to do is get a bigger one (I have the little green xbox one, gamester I think) that has four ports but for my upcoming halo2 party I want a bigger one because you can link up to 16. I wont be doing that because I dont have those kinds of resources but I want to link as many as possible to give everyone the biggest screen possible.
So..
Is this true, AND, could you suggest a good one, of good qaulity but of relatively low cost.
Im in college after all :)
Thank you all very much for any input you might be able to give.

Any hub or switch will generally work just be careful with routers.
